Seeing how "frank" this Vampire was, agreeing almost without hesitation and with such sincerity... even Katakuri felt a chill run down his spine!
Although he had long suspected that this Vampire had an extremely strong ability to control his own emotions and that no matter what emotions he showed, they were not trustworthy, Katakuri was still very shocked to see him remain so calm and sincere even after having half of his soul taken away, which meant half of his lifespan.
Of course, Katakuri's thought at this moment was, "This guy is definitely a dangerous individual and must be eliminated as soon as possible." However, Big Mom's thoughts, after the same initial surprise, were completely opposite to Katakuri's...
Not to mention Sig, who is sensitive to emotions, even Katakuri could sense the obvious change in his Mom's attitude at this moment.
Katakuri wanted to interject, but then he thought of Mom's personality and his heart sank. He reasoned that without any evidence, accusing this Vampire of harboring malicious intentions was something Big Mom would never do in her current state!
When Duke Huan of Qi favored the treacherous minister Shu Diao, who had castrated himself to demonstrate his loyalty, Guan Zhong and Gao Xi must have felt the same way.
However, BigMom's reasoning was quite valid—he's already been "castrated," so why shouldn't I believe him?
"Great! Hahaha, from now on you're a member of the Charlotte Family. In three or four months, Mom will arrange your marriage!" BigMom laughed loudly.
As for why it needs to wait three months?
It's not that she really needs to rest for three months, but BigMom is getting married in a few days and will conceive within half a month. During the first two or three months of pregnancy, she shouldn't be too active, and it's even best to avoid fighting opponents who are too strong...
Well, although it hasn't been decided yet which daughter will marry Vladimir, a grand wedding is definitely in order. With so many guests, we need to maintain a certain level of authority!
"Praise Mom," Sig said directly.
"Haha, by the way... are you going to turn your Homies into a thundercloud?" BigMom became more agreeable, even letting Vladimir choose for himself.
"I'll listen to Mom ... but if this Homies is usually helping me, besides shielding me from the sunlight, I hope it's the type that can assist in attacks." Sig seemed very obedient.
If Yamato were this obedient, Kaido would be laughing in his sleep.
"Thunderclouds are very powerful, just like my Zeus..." BigMom then looked at the thunderclouds floating around him.
Big Mom has three of the strongest Homies: Thundercloud Zeus, Prometheus, and Napoleon the pirate hat.
The first two respectively wield the power of lightning and fire, appearing as a thundercloud with facial features and a fireball with facial features. The last one is Big Mom's usual skull Captain hat, from which a huge blade can extend—her weapon!
These three Homies are said to have been created using Big Mom's soul. Each Homies is stronger than an average executive, and there are no more than five people in the Whole Cake Island who can defeat these three Homies in a one-on-one fight.
However, Sig felt that the soul fluctuations of the three were somewhat strange, and they did not seem to be completely synchronized. Unfortunately, he did not dare to use his Observation Haki to examine them closely.
Seeing that Big Mom was really going to create a powerful Homies for this Vampire, Katakuri wanted to speak again, but in the end he didn't say anything—after all, it was Homies!
Regardless of who is assigned as an "assistant" or whose soul it is, they are all absolutely obedient to their Mom.
Since this Vampire's soul is strong enough, then... creating a powerful Homies is only to be expected.
In the Big Mom Pirates, there has always been a practice of using powerful Homies as combatants or as assistants to executives.
Katakuri couldn't say anything, and rationally he didn't think there was any hidden danger, but... for some reason, he always felt uneasy.
"Oh right! You don't have a suitable weapon, do you? Hahaha, then Mom 'll give you my lovely daughter's dowry first... Go get that gun!" BigMom said to a Homies looked like a mannequin next to her.
"That handle? Ah! Yes!" The Homies quickly realized what her Mom was talking about.
Watching it leave, Sig's face showed curiosity and anticipation, but his heart was filled with unease...
He couldn't wait for BigMom to finish dealing with the "thirty-year-old soul" in his hands, otherwise the longer he lingered, the more likely it was that something strange would be discovered.
Fortunately, BigMom didn't seem inclined to examine it closely at this moment. After all, she had seen many powerful souls, especially her own, which, even if it was only ten years old, was far stronger than this soul.
Sig was nervous inside, but he naturally didn't show it at all on the surface, and even... he was completely self-controlled in his mental state!
Sig sincerely hoped that Big Mom had some ability to see the state and emotions of a soul, as that would only make her more easily deceived.
Shortly after, the Homies, who had been sent away, brought in a knight's lance, the size of which... would be a bit too long even for Big Mom herself!
"This is a spear forged by the Giant Race, named Gungnir, which originally belonged to Prince Loki... Hmph! Never mind that." Big Mom clearly showed her anger.
Sig estimated that this might be a "token of love" from Prince Loki, or a betrothal gift.
However, the Giant Race now "suspected" of joining forces with Red-Hair and his group to trick Big Mom, so naturally Big Mom will not return the spear, and may even give it away on the spot!
It's also thanks to the fact that Prince Loki is only fifty years old and hasn't fully grown up yet, meaning he's only the height of an average Giant Race, that the spear could have been made even larger.
Sig also somewhat puzzled; how did this knight's lance... provide shade?
BigMom's eyes flashed Red Light again, and then she kneaded the soul in her hand into the spear. Gradually, the spear became smaller and smaller as it was kneaded, and its appearance also subtly changed.
Even on the conical gun barrel, wrinkles began to appear...?
Gradually, the spear transformed into an umbrella, and "delicate facial features" appeared on its surface.
It wasn't a physical face; it looked blurry, like a play of light and shadow. Sig even had a preconceived notion that the features actually resembled his own!
"Mom!" The New Life Umbrella Spear Homies floated around Big Mom, but was pushed aside by the domineering Prometheus.
"Gungnir, you'll be following Vladimir from now on... This Gungnir can be used as an umbrella in normal times, and in battle it can transform into a lance or a javelin, hahaha, just right!" BigMom decided to use the same name for this Homies as it was when it was a "lance."
"Hello, Vladimir." Gungnir looked at Sig with a cute expression.
Before it was separated from Sig's soul, its special characteristics were sealed by a series of "self-suggestions" and have not yet been activated. Just like Homies formed from Spirit Channeling power, it only recognizes Big Mom and has nothing to do with Sig.
"Hello, Gungnir, let's work together to build Whole Cake Island and strive to realize the ideal land of a hundred races!" Sig said sincerely.
"Hahahaha... You go and rest first, Mom is hungry! Get ready... Mom can't wait to eat the wedding cake she missed!" BigMom was very pleased with this scene.
The anticipation of not being able to eat the wedding cake of the Giant King and Lola was also placed on the wedding of this "reliable Vampire"!
Of course, she also instructed Gungnir to "monitor" Vladimir —the Blacklist Big Sister wasn't so easily fooled; she had all the necessary precautions!
You little Vampire, what kind of trouble can you cause?
Katakuri watched the Vampire take a few steps back, bow, and leave. Suppressing his unease, he began to give Big Mom a detailed report about the Fish-Man...
